Gold Rises for 5th Straight Day!

Gold rose for the fifth straight day as a surge in energy prices renewed concern the pace of inflation may accelerate.

Gold for immediate delivery yesterday touched $468.65 an ounce, the highest since January 1988, as oil prices jumped 7 percent on concern Tropical Storm Rita may strengthen into a hurricane before striking Texas. Investors buy gold to hedge against inflation, which erodes the value of other fixed-asset investments, such as bonds.

`Speculators continued to buy on the back of inflationary worries and uncertainty about the U.S. economy,' Darren Heathcote, head of trading at N.M. Rothschild & Sons (Australia) Ltd., said in a report e-mailed today.

$525 an Ounce?

Gold for immediate delivery may rise as high as $470 an ounce this quarter, from a previous forecast of $450, Barclays Capital said in a weekly report e-mailed yesterday from London.

Barclays Capital, the investment-banking arm of Barclays Plc, is one of the nine market-making members of the London Bullion Market Association.

Newmont Mining Corp. President Pierre Lassonde expects gold to rise to $525 an ounce by January, according to an interview published yesterday in Le Temps.

Gold prices will then stabilize within a range $25 higher or lower than $525, Lassonde told the Geneva-based newspaper. The surge in prices will be triggered by a depreciation in the dollar, the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Stay tuned.

If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
